Dilemma in Photo Journalism

In March 1993, South African photographer Kevin Carter took pictures of children with extreme malnutrition in Sudan. In this picture, the ribs of the child are exposed, and she is rounded in the fetus. The story of this photo is dwarfed by the information needs of the cartel before and after capturing the image. The unique background of Carter's photos raises many different perspectives and doubts about photojournalism. First of all, what is the role of photographers when photographers take these controversial images?

These pictures are very interesting, but the growing "photo shop phenomenon" is a big dilemma for companies. Edited pictures can be obtained almost anywhere on the internet, including dating sites, product ads, housing rental sites, e-commerce, insurance claims and even litigation evidence gathering attention. When a company accepts user-created content, they are exposed to a new era of "editing before publication". TRUEPIC is working on block chains and computer vision to prove photo credibility, and we gathered $ 1.75 million with seed funds to accomplish this. Goal: Ensure that you receive content and secure user sharing, or that the business is authentic and reliable with a completely seamless advertising method.

Demotix is ​​a citizen's news site and a photo agency. It allows freelance journalists and amateurs to share photojournalism with their user-created content and license it to customers, including mainstream media organizations, charities and stock image buyers. This site was launched by CEO Turi Munthe and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Tepper in January 2009 and headquartered in London, England. The goal of Demotix is ​​to "save journalism" by linking independent journalists with traditional media.
